>> right now at 11:00, a major storm making its way up across the region right now. i'll show you what it means in

our area. >> i'm meteorologist jim cantore in boston, massachusetts, right here in the cross hairs of a 3407bster storm. >> i'm darcy spencer on the scene of a hit and run. one teenager rushed to the hospital. a cab driver may be to blame. >> out for revenge. tonight, the manhunt intensifies for a former lapd cop on a mission to kill. >> first tonight, though, a winter weather advisory is now in place for parts of our area. there's a major storm barrelling up the east coast. it could be an historic snowfall for parts of the northeast. strong wind, pounding rain, up to three feet of snow expected. >> and hundreds of flights have already been cancelled. tonight, jim cantore is in boston. but we're going to begin with doug to tell us what we can expect here. >> the storm is moving into our area right now. and it will be here through early tomorrow morning. and that does included rush hour and our winter weather advisory has actually been extended into

other parts of the region. making its way down towards richmond, notice what's happening right here. this yellow, this reddish, this is actually snow in the upper levels that's melting. it is falling as rain in richmond, but there is a little bit more in the way of cold air across the region. that's why the national weather service has extended the winter weather advisory in towards montgomery county, howard county and baltimore. we could see some sleet, some snow and potential is also there for freezing rain. so in this area in purple, watch out. early tomorrow morning, we could be seeing sop problems. d.c. metro and areas to the south, this should be all rain. we should not be seeing any problems here. the storm coming together. the northern portion, the southern portion coming together. just off the coast, moving right up towards new york and boston. both of those big cityings are really in for a monster storm. jim cantore is awaiting this storm right now. >> good evening from boston here. it's rare that i bring a yardstick to do a snowstorm, but this one we're pretty confident

two othree feet of snow here in the boston area. right now, it is bare ground. but huge concern is the vehicles on the road. the mayor and the governor want everybody off of the roads. unnecessary vehicles by noontime tomorrow. the t, which is the main mass transit system shuts down tomorrow by 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. slowly but surely they'll be closing down the city as the teeth of this storm begins to bite on boston. probably about sunset. this is going to be a fast moving, a very punching storm for this area. doug, back to you. we will have much more on this. we're starting at 4:00 to talk all about the weather and any traffic delays. join us starting at 4:00 a.m. >> we have breaking news in oxon hill, maryland, tonight. a cab driver is in custody.

the investigation. >> heads-up of a citizen that was able to observe the vehicle and was able to provide a great description and actually did a little bit of police work and was able to assist us in finding the vehicle and the driver. >> back at the scene, all that's left is debris from the crash. and neighbors hoping the teen survives his injuries. >> yes. it was very, very sad. and i couldn't believe it. i was here when they were putting him on the bed, and strapped him down. just seeing a child getting hit is not good at all. >> in prince george's county, that teen remains in critical condition tonight. and no charges have been filed at this point in this ongoing investigation. reporting live from oxon hill, darcy spencer, news 4. >> thanks, darcy. 18 women attacked, all in one neighborhood. a plot of people want to know how does this keep happening? tonight, there's a new sketch of

attacks, the women were walking alone. when the man walked up from behind, grabbed them and ran away. >> are you in talks with police, what are you hearing? what's the mood? >> well, i'm getting calls to my office. people are concerned. i am talking with the police, working with the police on a regular basis. but it's really going to take citizens to catch this person. >> tonight, police tell me there is a challenge with these cases. there is no forensic evidence the groper changes his appearance. there is no cell phone or surveillance video, and the attacks happen in seconds. >> we just need to make sure our citizens are alert. >> we also reached out to congressman jerry connell lee. he says, quote, i share the concerns of the communities about the series of sexual assaults in springfield and am confident that the fairfax county police will bring these incidents to an end. >> now until these incidents come to an end, some members in this community tell me that they're going to remain in fear. live here in springfield, virginia, news 4.

deadline over a tightly guarded secret in the chandra levy murder case. the man convicted of killing the intern appeared in a d.c. courtroom today, and there's a chance he could get a new trial. courses tell news 4 there's new evidence in the 2001 murder that could taint some of the earlier testimony in trial. but it's being kept private because of the possibility of a threat. today, the judge gave the government 90 days to develop a security plan before the evidence could be released. >> a controversial video has been pulled out of prince george's county schoolses after it was shown to students for months. the 21-minute anti-bullying film references a controversial therapy aimed at turning gays straight. the video was played by health teachers in six middle schools. but the school district couldn't tell us which ones. the video was pulled this week after questions in an e-mail. school officials say they pulled the video because it did not include enough bullying

prevention information. the washington redskins organization says it has no comment on the latest calls to change the team's name. today, the national museum of the american indian hosted a symposium on racial stereotypes in sports. some fans say the name is an important part of the team and history. panelists argue that images and words used to describe other minorities would not be acceptable for athletic teams today. >> the name is derogatory. the name is pe jorty tif, and does not serve a social justice purpose. in fact, it harms and demeans native people. >> no one from the organization was invited to participate in today's forum. tonight, an exclusive look at what passengers will be seeing on metro's long-awaited silver line to dulles airport. news 4 cameras got a closeup of what will be known as the spring hill station. it's a four-story platform that offers a sweeping view of tyson's corner.

there will be four new stations in tysons alone. crews made sure there's enough space between platforms. that station is set to open one year from now. coming up next, a community in ruins after superstorm sandy. tonight, why so many are struggling to rebuild three months after the storm. >> also, the northeast bracing for a blizzard that could be one for the record books. doug will rejoin us to tell us who will get

time has all but stood still in one community hit hard by hurricane sanl di. breezy point in new york was nearly wiped out by fires and floods three months ago. tonight, we go back to the scene to see why the recovery has barely begun. >> how you doing? stop by the fire house. i have some guys over there. >> triage continues on the rockaway peninsula. >> 14 miles by the crow from times square. and this is going on. volunteer fire chief marty ingram shows us a part of new york city still reeling from sandy. >> you can see this spot, a home used to be there. >> reporter: damage still just as it was. ach oceans and bay waters merged

sparking floods here. >> 125 homes lost to fire the night sandy hit here in breezy point. hundreds more devastated by floodwaters. but amarked for identification the destruction, we found signs of progress. >> michelle? hey. third generation resident michelle hogan on her weekly visit to check repairs to her flood damaged bungalow. >> you could see the water line. it was to about here. she evacuated before sandy hit. and found the first home in her floor inundated. the city's rapid repair program put in her new furnace, a patch work of relatives, contracts and volunteers have done the rest.

>> we're all okay. the things that are important to me, i have. i would like to be back, of course. i miss everybody, you know. we all do. in the meantime, hogan joins a legion of tens of thousands of sandy victims whose lives remane in limbo. >> thousands of people are not in their homes. >> that's incredible. this is your second time up there since the storm hit. i've got to imagine that's aw l awfully hard to do, seeing the same thing a couple of weeks ago that you saw a couple of months ago. >> my photographer and i said we're going to see signs of progress. we're going to see rebuilding efforts. and there is some of that. there's been millions spent by the federal government to help

people start to rebuild, but i have to say, it's a lotless than we expected. but when you think about the scope of the damage, three months really is not a long period of time for people to get back on their feet. there's a lot to be done. >> heart breaking, though, for those who are having to endure this. >> and was even worse for those. we have another monster storm coming up that way. and they are kind of ground zero a bit. >> they really are. some of the latest computer models now pinpoint new york as one of the hardest hit areas here. and that's really going to be the thing. where exactly does this storm line up for them. for us, not a real big storm here, but for them, this is going to be a major storm. they'll have moderate flooding. the moderate beach zone in that area. they will see the potential for upwards of a foot of snow in that region. take a look at the radar. right now, the rain starting to move in. storm team four radar showing that rain down towards

fredericksburg and around the richmond area. this is the snow right around charlottesville just to the west of the blue ridge here. i would not be surprised for some of this to start out as snow even around the d.c. metro area and points just to the west. that's why we're looking at the winter weather advisory. they've been seeing the snow for the last two hours. there is heavier rain starting to make its way up and take a look at both of these storms. once again, these two storms coming together. a classic scenario for a monster storm. they come together just off the coast. they bomb off the coast and pinpoint areas to the north. new york, province and up towards boston. the rain moves in by early tomorrow morning, right around rush hour. that's when we'll see the heaviest rain. the heaviest should be just down to the south and east of washington. down towards the southern portions of maryland. back to the west, this could be an area of rain, snow, sleet, even some freezing rain. and once again, we could see some problems early. the storm moves out of here by 2:00 in the afternoon.

so we're done with this storm as far as precipitation goes. what comes in next for us is the wind and the very cold air. but the snow is in new york. the snow is in boston. if you have plans to travel up that way this weekend, you might want to think about it, because it's really going to be quite bad there. the winds could be gusting upwards of 50 to 60 miles an hour. let's take a look at the snowfall. this is just from one computer model. nearly 15 inches potentially in new york. some of the latest actually give a little more. boston, nearly 32 inches of snow. for us, 1.3. that's what this says. i don't think we'll see that at all here. it's all going to be north and east. what i do think we'll see, though, is the winds. take a look at these wind gusts, tomorrow afternoon, or rather saturday afternoon around noon, 60-mile-an-hour winds in boston. 60 in providence. for us, over 40. so we're going to have 40-mile-an-hour winds here. combine that with cold temperatures. wind chills all day for us. we'll stay in the 20s. so a nuisance storm for us. but a blizzard to major travel disruptions all along the east coast. if you're flying over the next couple of days, you want to make

sure you call ahead, no matter where you are. te a big concern here. we're dipping close to the freezing mark to the north and west. and that's where we could have problems tomorrow morning. that's why we have the winter weather advisory. it now includes montgomery and howard county, baltimore and loudoun counkoucounty. watch out in this area if you're making your way in early tomorrow morning. we're going to continue to watch it right here throughout the day. now, the heaviest will be in the morning and you want to look out for that messy rush hour. as far as temperatures go the next couple of days, a high of about 38 degrees on our saturday with wind which he wills in the 20s. 47 degrees on monday. or 47 on sunday rather with another good chance of rain coming up on monday. temperatures around 52 degrees. one heck of a storm, not just for them, but for us, too. >> good weekend to hunker down. >> i would say so. >> thanks, todd. going to sports now, what in the world is going

>> it's time to get nervous. it is time to get nervous. it is code red time, folks. the capitals defense regressed so badly in pittsburgh it looked like a men's league game as the pens scored five goals in the second period. yes, five goals in a single period. more people see bigfoot than watch five goals get scored in a single period of an nhl game. it just doesn't happen. mike ribeiro will get the caps on the board first, but it will go downhill from there. second period, pens on the power play. ties the game at 1-1. minutes later, dupuis puts the

pens up 2-1. neuvirth is pulled. bring in holtby. he doesn't do any better. that goals make it 3-1. 11 seconds later, matt cooke says all right, let's just go ahead and make it 4-1. 20 seconds later, malkin's shot tipped by crosby who nets the goal. five in the period for the pens. ovy would score in the third but it's not nearly enough. the capitals lose 5-2. they are now 2-8-1 on the season. folks, greg williams has been reinstated from his bounty gate suspension in the nfl. the much traveled former redskins defensive coordinator has landed a job with one of his former teams, the tennessee titans. college hoops, maryland in blarksburg tonight and the terms just love to make things interesting. hokie faithful trying to help the team snap a four-game losing skid. we pick it up in the first half. terms would lead by as many as 11. here come the hokies. they end the half on a 14-2 run

capped off by this eric green three. the nation's leading scorer puts the hokies up by three at the break. second half, terms don't waste any time. 29 on the night. man, good game from green. he's from winchester, virginia. hokies down by three. robert brown can't get it to go. maryland holds on 60-55. it's the terps' first road win. john grisham on hand. the cavs said it was time to thrill. get it? >> yeah, got it. >> yeah, yeah. >> wake up. >> it's late! >> how about that jam to wake you up there. mitchell throwing it down. you'll love this. mm-hmm. that's a local kid. you like that?

justin anderson doing it just like his former high school coach. drew it up at montross vision. -- christian. virginia improves to 6-3 in conference pla i. so safe to say they're sitting pretty for the ncaa tournament.

>> final thoughts? >> the rain moving in right now. the snow moving in, especially back towards the west. if you live around i-81, you will most likely see snow out of this early then it will change over to rain before finally getting out of here. once again, the worth of the storm will be towards the northeast and east of us. 45 degrees on friday.
